Liked: Really friendly hostel, where it is rash to meet other travellers. This isn't a party hostel, but it doesn't claim to be. All the staff couldnt do more to help you during your stay, recommending places to go and helping you on tour way with all the information you could need. I stayed an extra night.

Disliked: Nothing!!

21 February 2011 Richard would recommend this property

Liked: One of the best little hostels we have come across. Great staff, nicely laid out common areas and a great safe location. They even helped us store our bags while we were on our trek. The interior was simple but tastefully decorated and we met some great travellers here. We will stay again. Richard

Disliked: We took a taxi outside and they doubled our fare at the end. Would have rathered the hostel call one to prevent this and confirm the price as many hostels do.

07 October 2009

Liked: The airport pick up worked out well - a guy was waiting for us and took us to the hostel. When we arrived there we had to pay for everything and they told us they didn't have any change whatsoever. So we had to sort out between our American and Peruvian cash trying to pay exact change (since we had paid a deposit on here it's not like it was an even amount to just pay). Luckily there were 4 of us so we managed together to come up with the right exact amount. We got in at night and the neighbourhood is a bit dark so we didn't want to wander around too much. The rooms were damp because the air in Lima was so, and the beds were super uncomfortable (foam mattresses that sink in). The wall beside my bed was crumbling and something that looked a bit like asbestos was coming out of the wall. I woke up with wall crumbling on my blanket. I wasn't very impressed and when I returned to Lima I stayed at Pariwana's which was great (and NOT damp despite the Lima air).
